Alright folks, here's where the story really takes off! It's mostly going to follow the events of the anime and how Naruto became a Genin, but I tell you now that there are some key differences. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Flames shall be smothered and burned alive by the Amaterasu.
*I still own nothing to do with RWBY or Naruto. WAAAAAAHHHH!*

Deaths Of Uchihas - The Betrayal Of The Gama-Sennin!
Seven years have passed and it's another beautiful day in Konohagakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and all was quiet and peaceful.
"Naruto! Jaune!/Get back here!" Yelled two voices.
...Well, mostly peaceful.
Running through the streets of Konoha was Naruto and his partner in crime, Jaune. Both were covered in splotches of orange and blue paint. They had big grins on their faces and were laughing themselves silly as they were chased through the village by several ANBU and Jonin level shinobi and kunoichi. And by the looks of it, the two troublemakers are winning this metaphorical game of cat and mouse.
"Can't catch us, losers!" Laughed Naruto.
"Nya nya! You'll have to do better than that to catch this slippery Rattlesnake!" Jaune added obnoxiously.
The two ANBU chasing them soon found themselves continuing the chase by jumping from rooftop to rooftop as the boys subconsciously used Chakra to leap up on to the roofs. Needless to say, it was quite a strange sight to many of the villagers. But not all that unwelcome due to the usually mundane routine they have during the day.
"Hokage-Sama!" yelled two Jonin as the barged into the office of their aged leader.
Hiruzen looked up from his paperwork and gave the two ninjas a look that clearly showed he was not amused. He had a lot of paperwork to get done today and he really doesn't want to have to stop now just because of what was most likely his two surrogate grandsons messing around again. Although he does find their pranks to be absolutely hilarious.
"Please tell me it's not the boys again…" groaned Hiruzen.
"It is Naruto and Jaune again! They just defaced the Hokage Monument with unsightly graffiti!" One of the Jonin reported.
And they are right. The monument depicting the faces of the four previous leaders of the village was now covered in crazy images. All drawn in orange and blue paint. The Shodaime's carving had a blue handlebar mustache, monocle, his tongue sticking out, and cartoon 'X's for eyes, the Nidaime had a few scars like Frankenstein and a wad of poop drawn on his cheek, Hiruzen's carving just had a mustache drawn on it to make him look more distinguished, and the Yondaime had a monster drawn next to his head with its mouth open.
If one were to ask Jaune why he drew that, he would have told you that the Yondaime's head was about to be crunched by a mutant four-legged bus driver! As Hiruzen looked at that painting, he had to admit it was quite funny, even though it showed that Jaune reads too many comic books.
He could also understand that it was just a coping mechanism that the boys set up after watching much of their family get slaughtered all in one night. Hiruzen sighed in regret as he remembered that night so vividly…
*Five Years Ago… (Long Flashback Begin)*
"Are you certain about this, Itachi?"
Hiruzen was in a meeting with his top ANBU commander, Weasel, also known as Itachi, along with his two old teammates Koharu and Homura. The three had gotten word from Itachi about some hostility towards the villagers and other shinobi from several members of the Uchiha clan including the clan elders. However, much to the relief of the old students of the Shodaime and Nidaime, Fugaku and his family were not among them. In fact, a vast majority of the Uchiha clan were admonished by such hostile behavior from their own clansmen.
So Hiruzen asked Itachi to spy on the clan elders and see what he could find out. And after two months of spying, he turned in his report. The results were disconcerting, to say the least.
"Affirmative, Hokage-Sama. I used listening seals that were hidden even from the Sharingan eyes of the elders and heard them with my own ears." Itachi said. "The elders and a small group of my own clansmen are planning a Coup D'etat in order to try and take over the village by overthrowing you and putting one of their own in office. And the lead elder, Elder Uchiha Kuroi, is planning on using my little brothers, Jaune and Naruto, to meet this goal."
After they had initially taken the secret son of the Yondaime into their home and family, Itachi began to see Naruto as a second little brother. Plus it doesn't hurt that while Kushina was pregnant with Naruto she had made Itachi's parents her son's godparents. Minato had even agreed to making Fugaku his son's god uncle, having the strangest feeling that his sensei Jiraiya wouldn't do the job of godfather right. While Jaune was calm, quiet, and preferred to read under the shade of a tree with his free time, Naruto was hyperactive, loud, and a little troublemaker.
He even inherited his mother's prankster nature! As proven by the time he replaced Fugaku's shampoo with a bottle of honey once and the man ended up coming out of the shower with a shiny hairdo that looked like Elvis Presley's haircut. But Fugaku just laughed it off and did his best impression of the King of Rock n' Roll, sending the whole family into a fit of laughter as a result. Heck, the other members of the clan found the little blonde and his pranks to be quite welcome in the compound, as he helped to brighten the day of even the grumpiest of elderly Uchihas, while helping to sharpen the awareness of the whole clan.
But it seems like the elders of the Uchiha clan council had other plans for the two demon containers.
"And how do they plan to do that?" Homura asked. "Surely they can't force such sweet children like Naruto-Chan and Jaune-Chan to fight in a civil war?"
Even Koharu looked worried about the little tykes. Now, you're probably wondering why they don't hate the two demon containers for what they carry like so many others in the village do. Well, there's a funny story behind that, but it'll have to wait for another chapter. Long story short, the two elders of the Konoha Council had visited Fugaku and Mikoto in order to discuss possible contingency plans should the Kyuubi and the Yamata no Orochi somehow take over the children or break the seals. This took place about two years after Jaune and Naruto were born. The parents were adamant that nothing like that would ever happen to them, but Koharu and Homura were being extra cautious about such an event happening.
They felt it was better to be prepared and not need such contingencies than to be unprepared and unable to do anything about it. But after observing the two children as they played around in the family room during this meeting, neither elder could really see the two kids as the demons they held like Danzo had kept telling them for the past two years. Rather, they saw them as what they really were. Two toddlers who had yet to witness the true horrors of the real world. So as the two continued their little visits, they found themselves liking the little tykes more and more, eventually seeing them as surrogate grandchildren.
This was further cemented when Jaune and Naruto called them Jii-Chan and Baa-Chan on their third birthday.
But I digress.
"Our lead elder, Uchiha Kuroi, has attained the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan. I'm not certain how powerful it is, but he feels it is enough to control the Kyuubi and the Hachibi. And I'm certain we all know just how strong the Mangekyo has to be if Madara was able to control the Kyuubi during his final battle with Shodaime-Sama." Itachi reported.
"Hmm… then it seems that we may have reached an impasse on our options. We can not simply accuse these Uchiha of being traitors without solid proof, but we can't just let them continue on with this plan either." Homura said, stroking his beard in thought.
"Perhaps we should have Itachi continue to spy on their meetings for a little longer and see if they have a change of heart." Koharu suggested.
"And if they do not?" Itachi asked.
There was a brief moment of silence as the three aged, semi-retired ninjas weighed their options. They'd really prefer not to solve a problem like this with bloodshed, but for the good of the village and everyone in it, they may be forced to act.
"If this group of Uchihas decides to go through with their coup, then it will be up to you to stop them by any means necessary, Itachi. Even if it means you have to kill them to do it." Hiruzen said.
Itachi just stood there with the same emotionless face he often uses during his ANBU duties, but his eyes clearly showed his sense of inner conflict with his own self. Could he really kill members of his own clan? Even if they were planning to betray the village?
Then these feelings of conflict were replaced by a steely resolve as he thought about his little brothers. He wasn't about to let them be turned into weapons for a bunch of power hungry old coots who only cared about their own standing in the shinobi world.
"I understand, Hokage-Sama. For the good of the village, it shall be done!" Itachi declared.
Hiruzen nodded, grateful that he could count on one of his most trusted ANBU agents.
The next day, Itachi was busy getting ready for his day in the ANBU. It's his shift to patrol the border of the village's territory this week, and he needs to be prepared for absolutely anything.
"Itachi Nii-San?"
The eldest of Fugaku's children looked to see Jaune standing in the doorway to his room. The seven year old boy was smiling and looked like he wanted to spend time with his big brother. Quite understandable to Itachi, considering he's rarely home for long periods of time these days.
"Will you help me practice the Shadow Shuriken technique?" Jaune asked.
"I'm sorry Jaune, but I can't. I have border patrol this week." Itachi replied before asking "Why don't you ask Tou-San to help?"
"But you're better at the Shuriken technique than Tou-San is! Even he knows that!" Jaune argued.
Itachi just smiled regretfully and motioned for his brother to come closer. Jaune obeyed, but soon found out why his brother asked him to come closer. And that was simply to lightly jab him in the forehead with two fingers.
"Sorry Jaune. Another time, maybe."
Jaune growled at tried to scowl at his brother, but it just came out looking like an adorable pout. Itachi finished getting his shinobi sandals on and stood up. He grabbed his ANBU tanto blade from his nightstand and began to apply the strap to his uniform so he could carry the weapon across his back.
"You alway say 'sorry Jaune' and then jab me in the forehead! You never have time for me anymore…" Jaune whined.
But as Itachi began to walk off, Jaune couldn't help but smile as he knew and understood why his brother had so little free time these days. He knows that the ANBU have some of the hardest missions in the whole village, so it's hard for any of them to get a decent amount of time off. And even then, they're often called to action during times where they should be resting.
However that smile soon became a concerned frown as the blue-eyed Uchiha remembered his brother talking about how the clan elders were going to destroy them all if they didn't stop their warmongering ways. And you know what? He believes him.
'I hope this doesn't get out of hand…' he thought to himself.
Back in the dining room, Fugaku and Naruto were at the table waiting for Jaune as they waited for Mikoto to finish preparing the boys' lunches for their day at the Ninja Academy.
"Ojii-San? How come Itachi-Nii doesn't have time for us anymore?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, please understand that being an ANBU commander is a big responsibility. It leaves your cousin very busy and unable to relax as much as he used to. I know his situation isn't perfect, but for now the most you can do is show your support for him." Fugaku replied.
Naruto nodded in understanding and went back to his flashcards, trying his best to memorize the content written on the cards due to the possibility of Iruka giving them a pop quiz today.
Not long after Naruto's question, Jaune walked into the room and sat down at the table near his father. The lad a had a lot on his mind, specifically in regards to some things he had seen. Such as his brother's Sharingan briefly morphing to look different. The three tomoes surrounding the pupil, or comma markings, seemed to merge with the pupil to form a symbol that looked like a three-pointed shuriken.
'What was that…? That was no ordinary Sharingan.' Jaune thought to himself.
Looking to his youngest son, Fugaku saw the serious look of deep thought on the boy's face and instantly knew something was up. He knows that Jaune's not usually one for deep thinking, but when it happens, it's usually about something very important.
"Something on your mind, kiddo?" Fugaku asked.
"Dad? Are there other forms of the Sharingan that we don't know about?" Jaune asked in return.
"What? Already interested in the Sharingan? But it's too early for you!" exclaimed a surprised Fugaku. "Your brother was a special case, sure, but…"
"But I know that I'll master it someday! Because… I'm your son!" Jaune insisted.
From her spot at the kitchen counter, Mikoto couldn't help but smile. She knows that her youngest would one day become the strongest Uchiha there ever was. And not because of his tenant. But because he has the heart of a true Uchiha. Just like Madara's brother, Uchiha Izuna.
Fugaku felt a little conflicted. One one hand, he doesn't want to have to reveal the next stage of the Sharingan to his youngest child too early like how he did to Itachi, as it would scar him for life. But on the other hand, he felt a sense of pride that Jaune wanted to become strong like he is. And seeing as he already has the attention of both boys, he decided to give them a little lesson on the Sharingan.
"It's true that there is an advanced form of the Sharingan other than the ones you already know. It's called 'Mangekyo Sharingan'." Fugaku explained.
"Mangekyo Sharingan?" Jaune asked.
Fugaku nodded in response to his blue-eyed son as he activated his Sharingan before adding more Chakra to his eyes and making something incredible happen. His Sharingan morphed so that the three tomoes and partially fused with the pupil. And from the biggest parts of the tomoes, a single black dot separated from them and found a place by the curved points of the three tomoes.
"This is my Mangekyo Sharingan. Every Uchiha has the potential to awaken this version of the Sharingan, and its form and strengths differ for each Uchiha. This form gives the user access to several new types of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and it gives them even stronger hypnotic powers than before. It only awakens when one feels great emotional trauma, such as watching their best friend or a family member die right in front of their very eyes. But using this version also comes with many new risks." Fugaku explained.
'Risks…?' both Jaune and Naruto mentally questioned.
But their little history lesson was cut short by Mikoto walking in with a pair of bento boxes wrapped up in white cloths.
"Here you go, kids. Your lunches." Mikoto said. "You know Jaune, if you need help with your shuriken practice, I can help you after school."
Jaune and Naruto took their lunches and started putting on their sandals for the walk to the academy.
"It's not just practice! It's actual training!" Jaune said.
As the two kids left the house, Fugaku cut off the flow of Chakra to his eyes and allowed them to revert to their onyx black color. Mikoto stood behind her husband and placed her hands on his shoulders.
"Are you sure it was wise to tell them about that form of our clan's eyes?" Mikoto asked.
"They were going to find out eventually, so why not now? And even if Jaune did unlock the Mangekyo in his ninja career, it's highly unlikely he'd ever come to rely on it. He's not like the elders who use the Sharingan as a crutch and don't rely on their own power in a fight and just use the techniques they copied from their enemies and allies alike." Fugaku said.
He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He remembered the words of Uchiha Madara, one of the clan's two founders, written on an ancient tome beneath the Uchiha clan meeting place.
"Besides, I can feel it in my heart. Jaune is the one that Madara spoke about. The one who will break the Uchiha Clan Curse of Hatred. And when he does, he will bring forth a new era for the Uchiha clan. An era where the clan will once again be respected, not for their power or bloodline, but for their unity and love for the village."
Mikoto had to smile at this train of thought. She too had high hopes for her son, but she didn't want to have to dump all of this stuff on him until she knew he was ready. She wanted him to enjoy being a kid while he still could.
As Jaune and Naruto walked through the compound to make their way to the Ninja Academy, they were stopped by a couple of Jaune's relatives. His grandma and grandpa on his mother's side. They ran a little fruit and vegetable stand in the local farmer's market, and his family buys all their produce from the two elderly Uchiha.
"Ah, Jauney! Naru-Chan! Good morning you two!" greeted Jaune's grandma.
"Good morning, Obaa-San!" the boys greeted back.
"Off to the academy?" she asked before adding "You know, when your brother was still seven years old, he graduated from the academy with top marks."
"That's right. And he could use Sharingan at eight." Jaune added enthusiastically.
"So tell me, boys, how old are you both now?" Jaune's grandma asked.
Jaune was caught off guard by that particular question. He really didn't like being compared to his brother in terms of skill by anyone. Whether they were doing it on purpose or not. It just made him feel like he'd never get out of Itachi's shadow.
'I'm the same age Nii-San was when he graduated. And yet I'm nowhere near as skilled as he is…' Jaune thought to himself.
"Now, now, don't pressure him so much, Dear! So Itachi graduated earlier than most children. That's old news." quipped Jaune's grandpa.
"No older than we are." retorted Jaune's grandmother.
Seeing that the two elderly people were about to get into another one of their little arguments, the two boys bid their elders a silent goodbye and made their way to the academy. Today was a Ninjutsu test day, so they both were sure to pass this one. After all, he's finally mastered that special Jutsu his Tou-San had taught him a month ago.
At the Ninja Academy, the students were lined up outside the building in a small training field where the students would be put to the test in their use of Ninjutsu. Whether they were clan Jutsu or not didn't matter so long as the students were able to perform at least one.
"Alright students, listen up!" called a man with a scar across the bridge of his nose and his hair done up in a high ponytail that looked like either a paintbrush or a pineapple named Umino Iruka. "Today's test is all about one aspect of being a ninja called Ninjutsu. This form of combat is ninja's bread and butter during a fight, as they allow one to gain an edge in combat. Be it through quick substitutions, creating various types of clones, or even manipulating the elements in a form of offensive or defensive ability. Now, under normal circumstances, I would have everyone go through this test alphabetically, but Hokage-Sama has requested that you all volunteer to show your stuff at varying times. That said, who wants to go first?"
The two who immediately raised their hands were Jaune and Naruto. The two of them had techniques they knew would do some damage and wanted to really show their stuff. Iruka had to chuckle at the two young hopefuls and their enthusiasm.
'Well, I do give them points for eagerness.' he thought with a grin.
Out loud he announced "Alright you two, settle down. Uchiha Jaune, you may go first. And Uzumaki Naruto will go after you."
The kids nodded in acceptance and bumped fists with each other as they wished each other good luck. With a small nervous lump in his throat, Jaune walked to the center of the field where they had set up a wooden training dummy reinforced by a thin yet strong layer of stone with a target painted on the chest. Jaune breathed deep to calm his nerves and narrowed his eyes as he followed his mother's advice on what to do. He imagined this dummy as someone who wanted to kill those he loved.
For some reason, an old man with long, spiky white hair in a kabuki outfit appeared in a silhouette over the dummy.
'I can do this…!'
As Jaune went through the hand seals for the technique, he mentally chanted the names of the seals.
'Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger...!'
Inhaling deeply, Jaune held his breath for a full minute until his cheeks turned red and smoke began to seep from between his lips.
'I CAN DO THIS!'
Exhaling the Chakra enhanced air, Jaune released his most powerful Jutsu in his limited arsenal.
'KATON: GOKAKYU NO JUTSU! (Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu)'
The result was a giant ball of flame being shot from his mouth and into the training field. It was so uber hot, that the flames that billowed out were actually burning blue rather than simple reddish-orange flames. Upon contact with the training dummy, the dummy in question was almost instantly incinerated. As well as most of the training area, which was larger than the lake where young Uchiha were tested on the 'Great Fireball Technique'.
And watching from nearby was Jaune's own family. Each of them had wide eyes and mouths hanging open to various degrees. As the boy finally ran out of breath, he cancelled out the Jutsu and let it go out as the instructors surveyed the damage. Needless to say, their eyes became all big and white like in anime.
The area had basically been reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble with a few flickering patches of blue flames still burning themselves out. Iruka was the first to snap out of his stupor, seeing that one of his two favorite students really has come of age in his clan.
"Well done, Jaune! You passed the test with that incredible display of the Fireball technique!" Iruka congratulated.
"Yippee…!" Jaune groaned tiredly. "Now, I need to sleep away the kitty cats flying around my head…"
And so, the boy fell to the ground with a painful sounding thud as little cartoon cats flew around his head like cartoon stars or tweety birds. Finally walking into view was the Uchiha clan head family, all looking very proud of their son/brother.
"Uchiha-Sama! It's an honor to have you here!" said Iruka with a bow.
"No need to bow, Umino-San. We just came to watch our boys take this test of theirs, and imagine our surprise when we see little Jauney actually manage to surpass his brother's use of the Gokakyu no Jutsu!" Fugaku explained.
He laughed heartily as Mikoto picked her youngest son up and gently held him as he slept off the Chakra exhaustion.
"That's my boy! If he keeps this up, he'll be the strongest Uchiha our clan has ever produced!" Fugaku praised.
"I'm so proud of my little man!" Mikoto gushed quietly, so as not to disturb her child.
Itachi had a big grin on his face as he ruffled his sleeping little brother's hair.
"Way to go, bro!" he praised.
Iruka had to smile at this display. It just showed that even though these boys contained such powerful demons, they still had people who cared about them a great deal. But this was a test, and he had to keep things moving along.
"Alright, back to the test, class! Naruto, you're up!" Iruka instructed.
Popping his knuckles as he stood up to the plate, Naruto grinned confidently as he began weaving through hand signs that were necessary for Futon, or Wind element Jutsu.
'Rat, Rabbit, Dog!'
Gathering the necessary amount of Chakra for the technique upon the final hand sign, Naruto let his attack loose.
"FUTON: SHINKUGYOKU! (Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet)" Naruto intoned.
After taking an equally deep breath as Jaune, Naruto exhaled a massive wave of compressed air bullets that easily broke through the stone ground where the training ground once was. It was almost like a spread of pellets from a shotgun blast in comparison. Needless to say, all instructors, including those who didn't like the boy for what he contained, were very impressed that he managed to learn and possibly master such a highly advanced technique at such a young age.
"Very good job, Naruto! You pass!" Iruka praised.
"YATTA!" Naruto shouted at his accomplishment.
Like with Jaune, the Uchiha family also congratulated Naruto on a job well done with his test. The only difference being that Naruto was awake long enough for it to happen. Still, it was a heartwarming sight for anyone who had kids of their own.
The night after that Jutsu test, Jaune and Naruto were running at full speed to try and get back to the Uchiha clan compound. They had stayed out a lot longer than they had intended practicing their shuriken and kunai throwing. Jaune had even gone as far as to practice throwing senbon needles. He pricked himself more times than he would have liked, but the pay-off of all that training was worth it in his book.
Unlike Naruto who always aimed for the chest area like they teach at the academy, Jaune was targeting the arms and legs of the dummies. More specifically, the joints and tendons. Itachi had once taught them that it's the arms and legs of enemy ninjas that you really want to aim for. If they can't use their arms, they can't fight back. And if they can't run, they can't get away. A downed ninja is a dead ninja.
"Gun it, Nii-Chan! We're late!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Roger dodger!" added Jaune.
But as Jaune and Naruto neared the Uchiha compound, they noticed how eerily quiet the place seemed to be. Not everyone should have been in bed right now. At least the adults and the elderly would be out and about at this hour.
"Naruto, what's happening? It's too early for everyone to be asleep." Jaune said.
"You're right. Something doesn't feel right…" Naruto added.
The two children cautiously continued on into the compound trying to ignore their fear as the did. Suddenly, up on top of a nearby building, they saw something. Something very strange and human looking. But with eyes that were beady and black, a shadow of a wild mane of spiky hair, and he seemed to be a giant compared to most humans. The kids rubbed their eyes and looked again, only to find the shadow gone.
'The heck…? What was that just now? Was it a person, or…?'
The two boys couldn't even finish that train of thought as they looked back to the path and gasped in absolute horror.
The bodies of several Uchihas lay dead and bleeding on the ground! Men, women, children… even infants and the elderly! Slaughtered like pigs at the meathouse, and without mercy it seems! Jaune looked like he was going to either have a heart attack, or puke his guts out at the sight of this. Or a combination of the two. And Naruto took an involuntary step back, sweating in fear even though he tried to put up a brave front.
"What… what's going on?! Who did this?!" Naruto asked frantically.
"I don't know, but Naruto, you need to go and get Hokage Jii-San and bring him here! He'll know what to do!" Jaune instructed.
"Wait! What about you?" Naruto asked, stopping Jaune from continuing on.
Jaune narrowed his eyes and forced down the bile he felt building up in his throat. With his knees shaky with fear, he told Naruto his plan.
"I'm gonna find Tou-San and the others. I'm sure whoever this guy is, they can take him. You just go."
"But I can't just…"
"I'll be fine! Just go!" Jaune ordered, cutting off his godbrother.
Not giving the whisker faced blonde a chance to respond, the blue eyed Uchiha ran into the compound to try and find his family. Naruto looked unsure of all of this, and he didn't want to leave his brother to fight this madman on his own… but what other choice did he have? So, with a heart full of worry, Naruto bolted out of the Uchiha clan compound and towards the Hokage tower as fast as his seven year old legs could carry him.
'You better come out of this alive, Nii-San! That's all I can say.' Naruto mentally told Jaune.
Back with Jaune, the boy was tearing past the dead bodies of his fellow clansmen and family in hopes of getting to his home in time. As he ran past more and more bodies, Jaune couldn't stop the tears that were collecting in his eyes. He saw several members of his extended family. Some of whom had some pretty odd names for people who were born in the Elemental Nations.
He passed the dead bodies of his Great Aunt Rosita, his uncle Hector, and his two older cousin Oscar and Philippe. But surprisingly, he didn't find the body of his arrogant doofus of a cousin, Sasuke. Perhaps he managed to escape the carnage somehow. Despite all his big talk, he was always a great big coward who covetted the power of others.
It took a few minutes, but Jaune finally skidded to a halt as he made it to his house, praying to whatever deity was listening that his family was okay.
"Nii-San! Tou-San! Kaa-Chan!"screamed Jaune as he was about to open the door.
However, he was forced to leap out of the way with a yelp as the door exploded outwards in a fiery ball of flame, likely from a Katon Jutsu. But the type, Jaune doesn't know yet. All he knows is that it didn't come from anyone from his clan.
He was further startled when he saw someone skidding across the ground with a grunt as they hit the wall of a nearby building. As the smoke cleared, Jaune saw to his horror that it was his father who had been blasted through the door by fire.
"Tou-San! Are you okay?!"he shouted in worry and fear.
Jaune ran to his father to try and help him, but Fugaku groaned and got up from the ground, coughing up blood as he did.
"Jaune… what are you doing? Go…! Get out of here… while you still can…!" Fugaku ordered.
"You better listen to your father, Gaki." said a man's voice.
Jaune looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the one who had spoken and killed so many Uchihas was none other than Jiraiya the Gama-Sennin. And boy did he look sinister tonight.
Ending Narration (Jaune): "I don't get it! Why is Jiraiya attacking and killing my clan members? What did they ever do to him, and what do me and Naruto have to do with it?! ...What? There's something about us that he's after? Is it the Sharingan? But I haven't unlocked… wait! My eyes! They feel like they're on fire!
Next time: Flashback Concludes - Mangekyo and Graduation Exam! Oh, I hope I live long enough to see such a day…
To Be Continued…*
I hope everyone enjoys the little twist I put into the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, but don't be alarmed. Not all of the Uchiha will be killed by the crazed Toad Sage. But let's just say that things are going to be a little hectic from here on out. As for Jaune, I'm kinda stuck. I want to give him the Mangekyo Sharingan next chapter, but I can't decide on a design. I've narrowed down my choices to a few different ones. Uchiha Izuna's design, Uchiha Shin's design, and Uchiha Naka's design. Which do you guys think I should use? Or should I go with a different design altogether? Let me know in the reviews what you guys think I should do.
And as I'll say… May the Force be with you, and have a great day!
